I agree he's not a top 10 but by that assumption howard(after this season) or wade wouldnt be in the top 10.

Not necessarily. Kobe/Shaq were top 10 at some point, for example. Both were capable of holding their own, but together they were unstoppable. Similarly, Howard has shown us he's capable of being a primary offensive and defensive option that can lead his team of scrubs to the finals. Bynum has not demonstrated anything of the kind, however, and his tendencies as a player as well as his short tenure as a primary option don't provide any evidence that he can be a primary option on a contending team.

Well, Wade (and Howard, this season) are primary scoring options on any given night, and can be throughout an entire season. They can have an offense ran through them.

We ran our offense through the post last season, here and there, and it failed miserably. Drew was rarely the primary option, even when we needed him to be (when Kobe was having bad games, or when he missed or was sitting the bench). Big difference between Wade (who is co-Batman every now and then) and Drew (who wasn't even Robin).

ahh ok I thought you meant you had to be the number 1 option all the time. But yea I understand what your saying.

Has averages of 22/12/3 in his first 2 seasons in the league. Last modern day big man to post better (or similar) numbers was Tim Duncan.

Great rebounder. One of the strongest players and finishers in the league. Top 3 athlete in the entire league. One of three elite bigs in the entire league to average more than 3 assists per game as well, the other 2 being the Gasols.

Yes, there are flaws in his game, but don't ignore everything else the guy does...

Yea I think people confuse Blake Griffins lack of skills as a him not being a good player. Sure the kid doesnt have a go to post move or an array or offensive weapons, but he is really good at what he does. After like I said he is a kid and still is getting better, he has put up some very good numbers in his two years here in the league.

Skip, what are you on? Dirk is not a top 10 player today? Melo is ahead of Dirk? I agree with Stephen A.'s reply to that. And Drew is better than Dirk?!

What are you talking about?

Drew is WAY better than Dirk. He is a terrific defender while Dirk can't defend a chair. He is a far better rebounder. Drew averaged over 11 a game while Dirk averaged less than 8 a game. Drew is also far more efficient. He has a higher PER and shoots nearly 10 percent points better.

Call me crazy, but a complete lack of a skills (as said above) or any contribution the defensive end (a.k.a 50% of the game) means that the player is overrated.

Griffin is and has been overrated. Duncan in his prime would absolutely destroy Griffin in his prime. I would rather take a skilled PF (like Pau) over a highlight show with no regard to defense any day of the year.

And no I'm not surprised that in a basketball culture fixated on dunks (the easiest and most most meaningless part of the game) that Griffin gets attention. It just speaks to the dumbing down on basketball knowledge in general.
